To USE Deep Fryer

•Foods are normally done when they float to the surface and are nicely browned. Empty food from basket onto paper toweling to drain before serving.

•Always secure cover onto fryer whenever oil is hot.

•Hot steam escapes from cover causing burns. To prevent personal injury or steam burns, use protective oven mitt when opening.

•Use only metal cook tools in fryer. Do not use plastic or rubber cook tools as they will be damaged from hot oil.

•It is best to use fresh oil each time the fryer is used to prevent transfer of flavor. Do not reuse oil more than two times as oil deteriorates with use.

•When finished frying, unplug cord from wall outlet, secure cover onto fryer and allow covered fryer to cool completely before removing oil and cleaning.

•Replace charcoal filter after every 10 to 12 uses to help reduce odor when frying and also to prevent oil from overflowing due to using a dirty filter. See Warranty section in this book for ordering replacement charcoal filters. Do not use fryer without charcoal filter.

1.Place fryer on a stable, dry and level heat- resistant surface, away from any edge.

2.Open cover by lifting cover release handle. Turn basket control knob to DRAIN position. See Diagram 1.

3.Attach handle to basket by sliding top plastic tab back while inserting metal end of handle through clip on inside of basket. See Diagram 2. Release tab to lock handle on basket. See Diagram 3. Lift basket out of fryer.

4.With basket removed, fill fryer base with vegetable oil to the MAX fill line, about 11 cups. See Diagram 4. Do not fill fryer with oil beyond MAX oil level line to prevent boil-over when food is added. Do not operate fryer without oil as damage to fryer will occur.

5.Place basket in drain clip. See Diagram 4. Remove handle by sliding tab back while lifting handle up and out of basket clip. See diagram 5. Do not leave handle on basket during frying as this will prevent cover from being secured onto fryer.

6.Lower basket by turning basket control knob to COOK position. See Diagram 6. Close cover to secure. To reduce oil spillage especially if fryer is tipped over, make sure cover is completely secured onto fryer. The cover temporarily reduces oil from spilling is fryer is tipped over; however, care should still be used when moving fryer.

7.With temperature knob at “0” setting, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Set temperature knob to desired setting. See guide on fryer or in this book for recommended temperature to use for food being prepared. Preheat covered fryer until temperature light goes out, about 10 to 12 minutes. Temperature light will cycle on and off during frying indicating temperature is being maintained.

WARNING: HOT OIL! To prevent serious personal injury or property damage from spills, deep cover secure on fryer whenever oil is hot.
